Low cost & effective solution with many applicationsBar code encoding is one of the most popular methods of personalization.
The weak side of the bar code - the relative simplicity of the encoding, which leads to easy forgery. Therefore, the barcode is rarely present alone on the cards. Usually combined with other methods of personalization.
According to the type of the barcode it can contain only digits or a combination of digits and letters. The printed barcode is electronically readable by a barcode reader (manual or stationary). It is important to choose suitable type and size of the barcode to ensure its flawless reading.
The most common barcodes are printed on a white background, but can also be found on ones of gold, silver or even red. It should be borne in mind that all backgrounds other than white significantly reduce the ability to read the code.
NOTE! What type of barcode you need is determined by the system you use. Your IT-specialists will tell you exactly what code you should use.
